Kuwait scientists receive desalination patent in the US – Kuwait The Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) has received a patent for the construction of a desalination plant in the US, according to the state-run Kuwait News Agency. In a statement, KISR said that affiliated scientists were able to reduce the hydraulic pressure needed for the desalination of seawater. Using a trial and error process, scientists designed a desalination unit with a 30,000 litres-per-day capacity, producing 35 percent of fresh water output with 15 percent of atmospheric pressure.
